I work and volunteer with my local Land Trusts. Land Trusts are an invaluable tool for habitat conservation, promoting conservation, stewardship, and connecting people to the landscapes they call home.

Recently, I provided photography services to the Okanogan Land Trust who used my photographs in their capital campaign “For The FEN”. These images helped secure the $1.5 million necessary to purchase the land, which is now protected from future development and will be restored. Use this tool to find local Land Trusts near you if you haven’t already!

Adventuring outside with my camera is when I am the happiest. With my camera in hand, I tend to slow down and take the time to notice more closely what I am seeing. I find myself completely engaged in my efforts, almost like a meditation. Hours pass like minutes.

My blog, Field Notes, is an opportunity for me to share my experiences and photography with you through the timeless art of storytelling.

Not everyone is fortunate enough to find their calling early in life and enroll in multiple photography classes in college. I have taught myself through online classes, programs, and tutorials.

The most growth I have experienced has come from in-person workshops.

If your noticing your growth slowing as a photographer, please reach out to me. I am available for private tutoring in person or through Zoom. I can help you create the images you are envisioning, process your images the way you image them, plan photo stories, or even help you make that switch from Auto to Manual.

If you have an idea for a workshop you don’t see here, I’m all ears. I love to travel and see new places, especially with other photographers!
